Kigumo: Where police are exposed to cold at night

Police at Kigumo Police Station in Murang’a, have continued living in pathetic houses constructed in 1950’s by the colonial administrations.

A housing project which was to relief them  from living in dilapidated structures remains a mirage after it stalled due to funding.

Two years ago, Interior and National Coordination Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i ordered the construction of the decent houses for the officers, before the allocation, was returned to The National Treasury at the end of the financial year.

 Deputy Inspector General of Police Edward Mbugua  toured the project, and ordered it be completed in two months to provide the officers with better shelter.

Mbugua sympathized with the policemen attached at the facility and assured them  all  will be done to ensure they relocate to decent quarters.

“ Am giving my personal donation of Sh200,000 to fast track the project,” said Mbugua requesting local leadership to support security projects.

 He was accompanied by Kigumo MP Wangari Mwaniki and Murang’a County Police Commander Josphat Kinyua.

 Wangari said  Kigumo CDF will partner  with the NPS to improve the status of the police facilities.

“Kigumo we need two additional police stations at Mugumo and  Githima,” said The MP.

Kangari she said was gazetted to a police station but a lot is required to give the former police post a facelift.
